Feet LOVE our FLOPS! Dr. Sylvie, a Beverly Hills podiatrist and flip-flop aficionado, created Planet Flops after discovering FLOPS, incredibly comfortable eco-chic flip-flops. FLOPS are made in beautiful Brazil with remarkably soft yet durable natural Brazilian rubber. Natural rubber, as opposed to synthetic rubber, comes from the rubber tree (Hevea Brasiliensis). The harvesting of natural rubber occurs by harmlessly "tapping" into the tree to remove a milky sap from the bark. This does not affect the health of the tree. In addition to their natural rubber construction, which provides a firm but comfortable platform, FLOPS come in a dazzling array of colors, designs and styles. With names like Chocolate Strawberry, Licorice, and Pineapple, to name a few, FLOPS are a must-have fashion item that offer style, distinction and comfort in one superior product. These are the most comfortable, flexible and fashionable summer footwear you can own.
